BOVI-LYSINE - Qualitechco

1 BOVI-LYSINER umen-protected for more consistent and balanced lysine takes great pride in our reputation forquality manufacturing. This reputation has beenbuilt and repeatedly proven for more than 40years.

2 To evaluate the rumen bypasscharacteristics of BOVI-LYSINE , a comparativestudy was designed using a marker within the product (Cobalt) and an external marker(Chromium). After feeding and measurement over time, the difference between the two markers indicates the amount of product that escapedrumen breakdown (see figure 1). The studyshowed that of the lysine protectedwithin the product was delivered to the cow slower intestinal tract, available for 2. A second study evaluated how muchof the rumen protected lysine was compared a control treatment (no additionallysine - baseline measurement), infused lysine (equal to 100 percent bypass) and rumen-protected BOVI-LYSINE . Analysis wasconducted on changes in lysine content of theblood plasma (see figure 2).

3 The study of the lysine product fed was deliveredto the blood stream. This equates to g oflysine delivered per 100 g of product solves your lysine delivery is effective at protecting lysine from the harsh environment of the rumen and delivering it where the cow needs it: in the small intestine. Once there it releases lysine into the blood stream where the cow can use it to optimize milk production. With the fluctuating pricing and availability of blood meal and other lysine supplements, choose the research-proven product that will consistently deliver the lysine your cows aVaILaBLE. rELIaBLE. BOVI-LYSINE matters to a cow s milk production and BOVI-LYSINE delivers it more consistently. QualiTech has developed a patent-pending rumen bypass technology that effectively delivers lysine to the cow s it s best absorbed and used.

4 The research proves it. And unlike other lysine supplementsources (blood meal or traditional rumen bypass lysine products), we ve made BOVI-LYSINE plentifullyavailable at a competitive price.
